I ended up re-centering the clutch several times while motor was in the car and still had no luck. When I got the motor out and did it the trans slipped in just about perfectly. So I think it was a combination of being slightly off center and me just having back luck getting the right angle on the trans and engine.

I have changed clutches well over a dozen times with the motor in the car. Besides the first time I did it this was the one time where it was a PITA. I wanted to do it this way because I did not know if I would be able to get help putting in the motor with the trans attached and I did not know if I could do that by myself.

I finally got tags for the car today. Between that and the rain we have had I did not get to much done. So far I got the PPF hooked back up, started and alternator attached. I also got my intercooler and radiator back in. My coldside pipes with with the new IM so that is a bit plus. Tomorrow hopefully it is nice out and I can get the rest of the car back together.
Also when plugging in the plug for the coolant gauge sensor the little metal tab broke. So I ordered and actual oil temp/coolant temp gauge to install. I am hoping I can retrofit it into the spot that the stock coolant gauge goes.

So I got most of the hotside stuff hooked up. Right now I am test fitting all the coldside parts. It is definitely getting cramped on that side of the engine. I need to make one more run to advance tomorrow morning to pick up a few last hoses and then I should finish it up and get it started.

I will not get the car started tonight. I have to run to the parts store for a few more things and most likely by the time I get back and get them installed it will be to late to start the car and watch for leaks. Tomorrow morning will be when I see if the beast lives or not.

My car started and I had a gas leak. I forgot to tighten one of the clamps for my dual feed fuel rail.
Because of the leak, I ran out of gas. I guess I will be running to the gas station in a little bit after I eat lunch to get some new gas.

After putting new gas in I found another fuel leak at the back 2 injectors. I am not sure if they don't sit right with my dual feed rail or what. I will be pulling them out tomorrow to look at them.
Now it is time to go see Bad Religion.
